==Summary==
* Players can use the Herding skill to select a creature or player and designate it as the target of Focused Aggression for that player's tamed or summoned creatures
* The [FocusAggression command has been removed
* A player's tamed and summoned creatures (including Blade Spirits and Energy Vortexes) deal increased damage against a target their owner has marked as the target of Focused Aggression
* A player's Followers will always receive bonuses provided by the Herding skill while the player has an "Activated" shepherd's crook either equipped or in their backpack
* Players can passively gain Herding skill while fighting with tamed/summoned followers that deal damage to a Focused Aggression target (skillgain chance is scaled upwards based on creature's control slots for balancing purposes)


==Shepherd's Crook==
* Players can double-click a shepherd's crook to set it as their Activated shepherd's crook (as long as it is equipped or in their backpack)
* All Followers controlled by a player will receive the Herding Skill bonuses to Damage and Damage Resistance based on which shepherd's crook is currently Activated by their controller
* Players can single-click a shepherd's crook to see if it is currently Activated for them
* shepherd's crook Effective Herding Skill Bonus = '''(PvM Accuracy Bonus + PvM Tactics Bonus as %)'''

==Focused Aggression Damage Bonus==
* Focused Aggression via the Herding skill provides a '''(22% * ([[Effective Skill|Effective Herding Skill]] / 100)) Damage bonus'''
* Players receive a bonus to Effective Herding Skill based on their equipped Shepherd's Crook or the best Shepherd's Crook in their backpack, as follows:
** Shepherd's Crook Effective Herding Skill Bonus = '''(PvM Accuracy Bonus + PvM Tactics Bonus as %)'''
A player's Effective Herding Skill Bonus, however, is capped by their own Herding Skill value though (so a player with 0 Herding would receive no bonus from the mechanic, or a player with 20 Herding could receive a max Effective Herding Bonus of 20, and so on)
* For example, an Exceedingly Accurate (+20% Accuracy) Shepherd's Crook of Power (+20% Damage) would provide a (20 + 20) = +40 Effective Herding Skill Bonus
* A player with 120 Herding and +40 Effective Herding Skill will receive a Focused Aggression damage bonus of (22% * (160 / 100)) = +35.2% Damage
==Focused Aggression Targeting==
* Focused aggression targeting (via double-clicking of Shepherd's Crook) will now be treated as declaring a "Harmful Target", meaning the Client's Razor Assistant can now use Random Enemy Target and similar targeting mechanics for declaring potential targets for Focused Aggression
* It will NOT be considered a criminal act if you target a Blue player with focused aggression (it will only be a criminal action if you make your pet itself attack a blue player)
* Players can use the [FocusAggression [[Commands|command]] to activate the Herding skill's Focus Aggression mechanic (players can still also double-click a Shepherd's Crook or use the shift-click context menu option on the target creature)
* Players can use the [FocusAggressionAllKill command to toggle whether using Focused Aggression will also automatically fire off an "All Kill" command towards the target
** This setting will default to Enabled for players

* Tamed and summoned creatures deal (22% * (Effective Herding Skill / 100)) additional damage against creatures while their controller has an active shepherd's crook.
* Receive (11% * (Effective Herding Skill / 100)) Damage Resistance towards all creatures


==PvM Bonus==
* Tamed and summoned creatures deal (22% * (Effective Herding Skill / 100)) additional damage against creatures marked by their controller as the target of Focused Aggression
